NOTES​

Cooked rice left to cool overnight is preferred because it is firmer and not so starchy.
You can use basmati rice, but preferably ordinary long grain rice.
Shredded roast pork, chicken and crab meat can be added to this basic recipe

I like using frozen vegies with stir fries. I microwave them for a few minutes, then add them.
Pleased I diced some spring onions for the freezer, as no stock this morning at the supermarket due to the wet conditions for farmers.

That 2nd rice dish is one I make all the time especially as a side dish when we have a BBQ

Suzanne, do you cook the eggs in the wok at Step 3?

 

[bombadier]

Used to always make home-made fried rice since our neighbour June showed me as a kid, till I had to make it weekly for 240 uni students for 3 years, still do occasionally many variations can be made to spice it up, try a touch of sesame oil also, only small amount to start can be overpowering or a bit of south east asia, fish sauce, be really careful with this stuff. I always wok egg first and set aside add at end to warm thrue.

Suzanne, do you cook the eggs in the wok at Step 3?

In the main recipe, the egg is cooked at step 6. You move the rice ect to one side, then pour into the pan . I cook it for a minute, then push the rice on top and cook on very low for 10 minutes

This is a classic recipe and I have made it for many years , still have a couple of portions in the freezer for lazy days , just have to fry the eggs and slice it on top.
